Jun-2024
Dr Dickson was on time, courteous and friendly. She showed me X-ray results from my first visit and my March visit and today's visit so I could see the progress in healing. Regarding plans for future care, she thinks that another 6-8 weeks of healing will be needed but that at my next visit the foot may be healed. She answered all questions about future care. I would easily recommend her for anyone needing possible surgery for foot issues.

Feb-2024
She studied my X-rays listened and examined my feet and suggested we start with radiology giving steroid injections for pain not surgery as my Podiatrist had suggested. Furthermore more she stated that shaving the bone in the bottom of my right foot would not be a helpful solution. If I do advance to needing surgery it would be fusion of th
E midsection of my feet. This would require about 20 weeks of being off my feet so if the shots help I may have them as often as every three months.

Her assistant said they do have boots in office but they are not Medicaid approved and to expensive for me to purchase. I was given a list to call to fins boot.
